 The warm weather has brought out an un- usually large number of warm city folks, and in the evening very many parties of pleasure seekers in teams avail themselves of the electric lights and drive down to the shore.
 The eottagers also appear to have prepared for the summers attractions, and although the travellers and some of the shore people are clamorous for the electric lights to be ex- tended along the beach road, many of the shore dwellers are by no means anxious for them Nevertheless, it is not unlikely that with the pressure that is being brought to bear upon the matter the shore road will very probably be provided with these lu- minaries.
 The Rev. Walter Nichols, of Baltimore, is guest of Dentist Fuller on Summer street. As general rule the Fuller cottage is rarely without visitors, and the legion of the doc- tors friends appear always welcome. Mir. Hewlett, the assistant superintendent of schools, occupies neat little cottage with his family in Oriental Park. ! Among the cottagers not already chroni- ! cled as arrived, but who have now taken up ! their residence at the Rock, are Lawyer G. A. l Tyler and Druggist Linde, whose respective
 families occupy cottage together near Rail ! road avenue. Prof. Townsend and Henry Parmelee have also left the city behind, as | have Ed. P. Merwin and his family, who are ! occupying the Doolittle cottage. MT. s. S. | Mallett can be seen daily making his way to the city, as may Insurance Agent Thompson and Real Estate Agent Clarke and not infre- quently Rev. MT. Samson. The Malley cottage no longer stands vacant, | having found occupants in the family of MT. K1einer, of this city. MT. Kaiser, of Water | bury, will also together with his brother Jo- seph, the we'll known merchant tailor, watch the rise and fall of the tides from a pretty little shore house on Beach street. To stimulate the interest in polo the win ming team in the Connecticut Home Polo league will be presented at the end of the season with an outfit valued at $75. The league has it's headquarters at the shore and MT. Googgins, the manager, is endeavoring to make it success. The clubs now com posing the league are the Armory, the Win chester, the Elm City and the Meriden. To- morrow night the Meriden and Elm City teams are to play their first game, and to accommodate city patrons later car than 10 D. m will be run from the Rock Coli shaw will captain the Silver City team. Landlords Putnam and Twitchell are endeavoring to arrange for band concerts in the grove during the evening.

 Superintendent Ward receives thanks "all along the line" and from patrons of the road generally for introducing his "Noahs ark" watering cart, which copiously vets down the roadbed of the horse railroad and helps greatly to lay the dust and add to the com fort of passengers. It is big wooden tank, Iaa o1xH J1-- wheels, as it moves along ahead of the cars, drawn by a pair of stout horses. It takes in fresh supply of water and moves over the road as fast as needed.
